The steppe north of Ukraine between Russia and Poland, lays the rather mystifying land of Belarus. Emerging as more than mere transit region to and from Russia, Belarus is now becoming a popular destination, enchanting tourists with its uniquely preserved culture, history and romantic Belarus hotels. In a land that still holds on to some of its eastern values, visitors will step into a different world full of warm hospitality, genuine friendliness and inimitable charm.
The land of Belarus is covered in striking scenery, adorned with immense forests, lakes, and picturesque countryside. Outdoor lovers will indulge in the natural European wildlife!
With an abundance of early castles and monasteries and numerous small towns, there are plenty of places to visit in Belarus. In a land that is not teeming with tourists, travelers even on the tightest budget can experience places that are still slightly maintained against the western world.
Although the kindly capital of Minsk is one of the largest cities in Europe, no other city has such a relaxed vibe. Minsk boasts beautiful architecture, including the St. Virgin Mary Cathedral and the Holy Spirit Cathedral. Travelers can be entertained with a visit to the National academic Big Opera and Ballet Theatre or take a nightly stroll in the contemporary Palace of the Republic. In a city with so much interesting culture and history, there is always plenty to see and do. A great way to get around and see the sights is on a tour in Belarus.
Belarus also boasts some ancient cities and fortresses that will astonish any traveler. Explorers will be amazed by the architectural complex of Brest, a fortress containing the oldest example of Belarusian wooden architecture, the Troyetskiy Catholic Church. No visit is complete without a Belarus tour to the Stone Palace of Gomel, the picturesque city situated on the banks of the Sage River. Or travelling to one of the oldest towns in Belarus, Vitebsk, and seeing the old fortification of Vzgorskiy Castle, unlike any other place in the world!
For the nature-loving, there are plenty of national parks and reserves for hiking, camping and bird watching. Outdoorsmen will relish in the 550 square mile Belavezhskaya Puscha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site outside Brest. This biosphere has a diverse range of animals, including wolves, bison, and numerous types of birds.
